XM antenna location
 

Can anyone tell me the best location to mount an XM radio antenna on a Boxster? The tech that installed my new stereo put it in the middle of the dash next to the windshield, and I lose reception part of the time when driving north. Thanks.

I have a 987 (not sure on a 986) and the little metal-ish "mesh" that covers the speed 'n' tach (behind the steering wheel) is a nice little place to have it. You can run the cord down and around the gauges. Though I haven't tried, I suppose you could probably pull back the dash trim and tuck the cable behind it...? Not the best image (don't have my camera with me), but you can sorta see the mesh screen I'm talking about and where the little black cable loops around

Under the cowl
 

I have my Sirius mounted under the front cowl, the black plastic b/t the hood and windshield. I ran the antenna through the firewall to get it there.

I get about the same recepetion that I had when it was mounted right behind the 3rd brake light on the trunk.

that's where mine is located - fortunately I have no reception issues...

Bump
 

Thanks for the input, guys. Any other ideas out there?

Right in the corner up next to the glass. Wires are tucked in the crease between the dash and the body then under the dash. Looks good great reception.
